    Hi

    Newegg ASUS G Series G73JW-XN1 NoteBook Intel Core i7 740QM(1.73GHz) 17.3" 8GB Memory 500GB HDD 7200rpm DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M

    Amazon ASUS G73JW-XA1 Republic of Gamers 17.3-Inch Gaming Laptop

    Buy.com ASUS G73Jw-XB1 17.3" Notebook, Intel Core i7-740QM (1.73GHz with Turbo Boost up to 2.93GHz), 6GB DDR3 Memory, 640GB HDD, DVD Super Multi-Drive, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M (1.5GB GDDR5), Windows 7 Home Premium

    Which one I should get? does the 3d thing worth the money at this point?

    Thanks

    Get the Buy.com one, and use the money you saved to get the best $250 SSD you can find :)

    True! Get the buy.com version, and you can do upgrades on the money you saved. Wish i had a choice before buying the bestbuy version. The 1600x900 screen pulls me down.
